Should I be worried

Hi everyone…I really need some advice, I dont know if im over reacting but the thing is my boyfriend and I have been going out for a while now and hes met my mom but he wont introduce me to his parents. He told me that his parents dont want him to date a coloured girl so I think thats the reason hes avoiding me meeting them. He hasnt even told them hes dating anyone…not even his brothers!! I dont want to over react but this cant be right, he tells me he really cares about me and he really likes me but the fact that im non existant to his family has kinda got me thinking…I dont know??? Pliz help!!

Answer #1

hey reb1312 I understand what you mean but I don’t its just that I had to emphasise the situation to you guys. its a tough spot when the guy you really like has parents who will see you like that.

Answer #3

I disagree with libbyduh. Growing up with a bigoted, racist family can’t be easy, and if he’s still living at home, “coming out” to his parents about dating someone of a different race could very well make things unbearable. I would advise some understanding on your part of how difficult it must be to balance his feelings for you with the reality that his family is composed of a bunch of backwards idiots.

With time, assuming you two are still together, he will be able to assert his independence more as he comes into his own as a man. For now, his position is tenuous.

This is, of course, assuming he is telling the truth about his parents.

Answer #4

if he is hiding you he doesnt really care much about your feelings. how can the relationship every grow into anything if he wont even be a man and introduce you to his parents? dump him.

Answer #5

I’m sorry but I was brought up thinking that refering to ANYONE, even yourself, as “colored” was kind of racist. I don’t know why you’d refer to yourself as colored…

Answer #6

I would talk to him about it. I tink that if he truely loves you he will stand up to his parents and let thm know that he is going to date you weather they aprove or not. He shouldnt be so ashamed to be with you just because you are colored.
